Pros

I have been working for Pariveda almost 8 years now. At the end of the day, there are three things that keep me here. First, I have a constant opportunity to grow my career. Senior leadership within Pariveda is fanatical about providing solid growth opportunities that push you to get better, while still providing enough support that you are not in it alone. I am constantly pleasantly surprised at the direction my career takes based on client work and career goals. I could not have predicted this trajectory when I joined, but can't imagine things playing out any other way. Second, I have a great deal of autonomy in my day-to-day. I can balance time with my family (two kids) and hobbies, while still focusing on growing my career. Pariveda's leave policy (PTO, paternity leave, and sabbaticals) are exceptional and I feel like I have the tools I need to find the balance needed in my personal life. Third, I get to work with world-class performers who are smarter than me and are willing to impart their wisdom and knowledge. If you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with, you want to constantly hang out with people smarter than you! I get this opportunity at Pariveda.

Cons

Pariveda is by no means a perfect place to work. We get a lot right, but we have areas to improve on as well. The two key downsides of working at Pariveda center on change-management and internal-expectations. We are not great at change-management. We create new processes and do not effectively communicate them, resulting in some confusion and frustration. Typically, everything ends up working out - and decisions made are frequently good. We could just do a better job of managing the human side of change management. Something a little surprising for a consulting firm that absolutely nails this at the client site. Second, we frequently fall into the trap of permitting behavior internal to the company that would not be acceptable at the client. We have a bit of a dual standard that can be confusing at times. We could do better here, and I see steps being taken to improve.

Growth Focused

Pros

There's a clearly articulated growth path with the expectation framework. Salaries are transparent and uniform by level (slight variations by geographical location to match local salaries and address cost of living). Strong emphasis on individual growth paired with formal and informal mentorship. In addition to Roth and Traditional 401(K) contributions, they allow for After Tax 401(K) contributions as well! There are holidays in addition to PTO. The office is very welcoming - there's an emphasis on empathy, connection, reinforcing a sense of safety as you are challenged to learn and do new things.

Cons

I would say this varies by your office. If there isn't a lot of local work, you may be working remote and possibly in an individual capacity (as opposed to a co-located team), but not always. The review process is taken very seriously - you are reviewed every 6 months and given a few new areas to improve on. This requires a degree of vulnerability and self-awareness, which can be a bit painful for some people.

Great Place to Grow

Pros

Pariveda talks a lot about growth and career development and I have personally experienced both during the time I have been here. I feel supported but also challenged to learn new things and have progressed in ways that I didn't think I could before I worked here.

Cons

The leveling framework is great but could use some work in the structure on the corporate side
